Jabari Smith Jr. is the Rockets' franchise player

I hope not. We don't need 2 DFS.

 

LOL. You are such a hater.

 

17 points on good efficiency. A -24 in the game.

Significantly slower and less coordinated than Fox, Harper, Castle, Champagne, Keldon Johnson, Devin Vassel, and Wemby.

Kills flow, disappears, doesn’t even get to the plays yall hate on Tari Eason for making a mistake on, he’s 8 foot away.

His comp is Lisa Leslie. WNBA allstar- Tall, solid, good teammate, good jumper, but the speed, strength, and athleticism isn’t there for the men’s game.

 

More shots could have fallen but Jabari was solid tonight. He was battling out there.

 

He is just inconsistent. I like his athletic gifts and attitude and am glad they got him with that reasonable contract. He just turned 22 and improves a bit every year. Stone didn’t really miss on this one. He is going to be better than Paolo and we had no shot at Chet who should have been the no. 1 pick.

 

I wish we could clone 29 Jabari’s and trade one to every single other team so Reed Sheppard would have someone he could guard.

 

2nd best shooter on the team and if Alpi actually passed it to him he would be the #2 / #3 with Amen behind Durant

 

I was today years old when I learned Kwame Brown is Bari's cousin.

 

A great all around game tonight. The main thing I loved was his mentality. He was decisive, aggressive and was just on it on both ends of the court. That’s the only thing holding him back is him being in his head, because he has the physical tools to be a great nba player. He just has to believe it.

 

JSJ is playing great, I do find it funny that you have abandoned Net Rating when JSJ's teammates (e.g., Sengun, and last 15-20 or so for Tari) are hurting his Net Rating, but championed it when the starting lineup was rolling (e.g., Sengun was playing great).

I like Net Rating as a stat, but teammates on the court matters a lot with it. Moreso, than oppenents for the Rockets.

 

Now that is funny, although inaccurate about Jabari.

 

You are right, he’s an efficient shooter and solid player across an 82 game schedule vs the 29 teams in the league. He’s a solid defender on comparable athletes to him.

I am also right that he can’t compete athletically with the Spurs and Thunder. That’s not going to change and it matters if our goal is to win a championship.

We used to be the team building to take down GSW when they were dominating, now we’re building to take down .500 teams.

 

I think jabari will be just fine. He might end up having phenomenal value in regard to production and the contract he is on.
